DIMENSIONS

The Sumner Pallet Truck is a 6600 lb. rated pallet truck available in 
two sizes Model# PJ27 (27” x 48”) and Model# PJ20 (20” x 48”). 
The Sumner Pallet Truck is used to lift and transport loads to 
desired locations with the use of a hydraulic lift. Placing material 
on the pallet truck or inserting pallet truck through a pallet, user 
can lift and move material with ease.

To better understand the proper use and safe operation of your 

Sumner Pallet Truck, please take a few minutes to carefully read 

and follow the instructions contained in this manual. When 

finished reading and understanding the manual, please file in a 

safe and convenient location for the life of the pallet truck. You will 

notice several important features about your Sumner Pallet Truck. 

It features a 2-1/2” lowered height, rounded fork tips and nylon 

entry/exit rollers to provide easy entry and exit of pallets. A large, 

easy-to-use ergonomic handle with a 180° turning radius allows 

maximum maneuverability. The articulated steer wheel axle helps 

maintain floor contact on uneven surfaces. The cast iron pump 

design features top-of-the-stroke and overload by-pass systems 

hardened and chromed ram and piston, and a single point valve 

service for easy replacement. A special lowering valve allows you 

to control the rate of descent and prevent “shock” loads. Your 

Sumner Pallet Truck is designed and built to offer consistent, 

long-term operation with minimal maintenance and service atten-

tion. For more information go to www.sumner.com
